Kingkevin, you're absolutely right. There IS no competition here. Anime can't compete with American cartoons. In terms of shameless and undignified presentation, hideous and disgusting character designs, and clichéd and tasteless humor on the same level as a high school dropout, American cartoons are WAY ahead of the game. Anime just can't compete with the level of mental retardation required by American cartoons.
Why is anime way better than American cartoons?

american cartoons really lack the plot and the plot development and character development and themes and action. anime captures all of this and some of them (GTO) are as hilarious as some of the american cartoon like family guy, south park, etc... basically i watch american cartoon like family guy, cuz they are hilarious and just dumb and has no plot or theme.

Ryuuka you honestly think american cartoons are cliche? HELLOEvery character in a japanese cartoon look EXACTLY the same, in every cartoon. and the stories are severly cliche, unoriginal, and for the most part, the animation is awful. Nothing even moves, except a mouth or something. American > Japanese

Yeah, I do. HI.Clearly you haven't seen enough anime to know what you're talking about. If you think every anime character looks the exact same, try watching more than two series before making assertions. I've seen all of your listed American cartoons, so I can clearly say they're all hideous and clichéd. Every episode gets absolutely nothing done, because they're all stand-alone. Nobody progresses, learns from mistakes, or has any semblance of reality to them. American cartoons have the same clichéd archetypal characters, which are all made to be either too stupid or too smart for the intended audience. Comedy and crime-fighting are the only genres that exist in American cartoons. American < Japanese.By the way, why don't you go start your own thread about how you think American cartoons are better instead of trying to bash anime in a thread that's devoted to it? Obviously, you won't get the people in this thread to agree with your views. You should know already that trolling in a thread like this will cause discrepancies.

American cartoons are shorter because in America there is a lot of cartoons soo, to put them all they cut parts of the episodes 
But now in japan there are episodes with only 10minutes because there is a lot of animes injapan in this moment.

American cartoons aren't as good for many reasons. Some include: Retarded animation, childish stories, anime cloning(Loonatics Extreme) and others. Anime is waaaaaay better than American cartoons.

Anime is better because it has more adult situations, blood, profane language, innuendo, and it has always has a twist.

anime in my opinion is better than ours because of a few things.1 the artwork2 the plot or story line3 and in some cases, the humor. in a lot of cases, it's clean humor and still more funny than the perverted stuff we put out.4 the music, or score.

A lot of American-made cartoons, perhaps fewer now than in years gone by, were created purely for merchandising purposes, by toy companies. Hence, evil and soulless- though there are shining exceptions to that rule, ie Beast Wars.Every anime you could name started out as a manga, a labour of love by artists and writers who wanted to tell a story and bring it to life. Most. You'd still get the soulless creations of publishing houses working to a formula designed to sell a lot of books. The point is, though, that most anime evolves from a written work, which gives it a dimension that American cartoons, designed for the screen from the outset, for the most part lack. Invader Zim demonstrates an exception. And refutes the notion that anime is superior to American cartoons with many, many spades.

Erm, I'm not really a big fan of anime so I'd go with American Cartoons. And about sexual references, they BOTH have it..

I think it's because in general, the themes expressed in Japanese anime are better carried by more cute and beautiful images. For example, girls in Japanese animes are juste very cute whereas it is often not the case in American cartoons.

I see your point, but lest we not forget that mangas are meant to be marketed and sold just as much as American comic books, and there are American comic books in which the artists put just as much effort into as mangas.American cartoons on TV are generally meant for kids, and the comedy blasphemy we see on AS is pretty much just meant for profit. There have been American cartoons (Heavy Metal, Wizards, and a lot of old Disney work) that had people's hearts, souls, and careers poured into them, and even though the latter of the three examples was meant for children, a lot of fine animation and story telling is present there. Sadly, however, there's more decent animation from Japan than from America, even though I would like to see some American cartoons have more effort put into them.A lot of American-made cartoons, perhaps fewer now than in years gone by, were created purely for merchandising purposes, by toy companies.

I believe it is because all American (styled) cartoons are humor, but Anime has so many different genres than just humor.

I might just be repeating this but to me, most american cartoons have voices that are so fake. They try to make a panicing voice, it comes out a screech. The way they speak in anime expresses their tone and/or feelings.
